PLASTERING-CORNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,298, dated December 14, 1897.

Application filed April 8,1896. Serial No. 586,701. (No model.)

To cbZZ whom, it may concern;

Be it known that I, LEWIs GoonwlN, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plastering-Gorners,which will, in connection with the accompanying drawings, be hereinafter fully described, an d specifically defined in the appended claim.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved corner that receives the edges of the plastering and protects the same, a small portion of the plastering being also shown. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the metal protector of the plastering as shown in Fig. l.

The object of this invention is to provide a metallic protector that when secured at any corner will fully protect the plastering and prevent the same from being broken away at the point of intersection and so gradually extend such fracture farther into the surface beyond; and it consists in forming of thin metal, preferably soft steel or iron, a piece curved at its outer surface, straight in its middle surface, and obliqued right and left at the inner part, so that said inner parts are at right angles one to the other, and are secured a by nails to the wall upon which the plastering is to be applied, all as will be next fully explained, and defined in the appended claim.

Referring again to said drawings, I form the part a of two thicknesses of metal, as also part I), while parts 0 c are inclined at ninety degrees one to the other to be secured to the piece B, that sustains the plastering A A. Said several parts a, Z), and c are all formed of a single piece of thin metal, which is bent into form as shown in Fig. 2. When the part represented at B is in place, then the part shown in Fig. 2 is secured thereto, after which the plastering A A is applied, as shown, and so that from part c to a it is solid and continuous, and the plastering enters beneath part a and is so held that it is not feasible to commence fractures at the corner and then continue them inward therefrom.

The distance from parts 0 c to part a will of course vary according to the required thickness of the plastering, and the inside plastering-support may be of any desired kind or strength, and the length of such improved corner may vary according to the height of the wall, so as to be continuous from bottom to top, if desired. Said parts 0 0 will of course be duly pierced to receive nails, by which the corner is secured in position upon the building-wall.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A metallic plastering-corner, formed with the outer surface Ct of double thickness of metal, part I) also double in thickness and extended inward from part a, and the doubleinclined parts 0, 0, arranged to be secured to the supporting plastering-corner, all substantially as described.
